From an applicant's perspective that makes no sense. The point of the range is to understand if their expectations match what the role pays, not what it might go up to some day (that's also useful information, but not what most applicants have in mind when they look at a job description).
Ranges cover the full lifecycle of a role. The top is usually for seasoned pros already excelling. Most offers land mid-range with space to grow as experience builds.
Average healthcare profit margin is 10-15%, smaller practices/orgs even lower. There’s a lot more at play when it comes to what determines salaries than greed of a few people who don’t really have control over that. lol
And yah you can make bank babysitting I did that for a long time during college. Maybe if you prefer that you can make a business out of it!
This is absolutely so true. The top of the range is reserved for people who are basically being groomed for moving to the next stage of their career, not people starting out who feel very confident and competent. There's a big difference.
This is definitely not universally true.
First of all, those ranges typically list base salary, and do not include things like bonuses and stocks. As for whether or not I should receive the top of the range for base salary, that’s a question of how badly do you want me vs the other places that are making me offers. Like all other free markets, labor is subject to supply and demand pressures.
This is true.
